Hamas but make it sexy
Pay these boys
Charring stations (sorry)
“He’s hot,” wrote Slate just a couple weeks back, “He’s ‘dangerous.’ Young men actually listen to him. Is he what Democrats are looking for?” Hasan Piker — the left’s “new Joe Rogan” — has close to 3 million followers. And this week he was (very briefly) suspended from Twitch after calling for a sitting senator to be killed. His supporters are framing his comments as misunderstood. Hasan didn’t call for Rick Scott’s assassination, he simply said Republicans would kill him if they were serious about Medicare fraud. And this might be persuasive had Hasan not spent the last couple years defending and streaming with actual terrorists, and praising the assassination of the United Healthcare CEO. A free speech issue, as Hasan’s bobblehead groupies insist? Idk, I draw the line at incitement to murder myself. But the media’s right about one thing: this probably is the future of the left. Buckle up.

Charring stations (sorry)
Seven Tesla charging stations were intentionally set on fire this week at a Boston shopping center, according to local police. It’s the latest in a string of vandalisms against the company protesting CEO Elon Musk for engaging in a fascist coup d'état (defunding Arab Sesame Street) alongside Big Balls and the rest of the DOGE Youth. And while it’s nice to see these pr...
